Actually looking to see more of the finish product. Not sure of the USA, but here in Canada, our insurance companies are clamping down on cars. I will be 55 next month. I bought a 409 '61 Pontiac about 6 years ago. At that time, I was with State Farm. I had been with them my whole life. They WOULD NOT insure the Pontiac because it had headers. ONLY modification could be like a radio (some stereo's were not insurable) shifter and rims. Anything more then that, no insurance thru them.

So I went to Zehre insurance. Well know aftermarket car insurance company up here. Mostly anything goes. Well last summer, they will no longer insure my '66 Nova with tubs and rollcage.

So anyway, the reason that I mentioned that is up here, it going to get harder for the average guy with 3 or 4 cars to get insurance. BUT with these builds like this, one can easily have a 500+Hp car that looks stock but with headers or even manifolds, and still enjoy them.

I see a BIG market for these builds coming.

The guides need honed, valve job needs to be done, then the porting and finally the CCs set.
